2 TIMOTHY 4:10
10 Demas, because he loved this world, has deserted
me and has gone to Thessalonica.
DEMAS – DON’T BE LIKE HIM
1. STAY AWAY.
1 JOHN 2:15-17
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the
world, the love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the
world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -
comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its
desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
2. STAY CLOSE.
1 TIMOTHY 6:9-11
9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into
many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and
destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and
pierced themselves with many griefs. 11 But you, man of God, flee
from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
endurance and gentleness.PSALM 63:1-3
1 You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my
whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no
water. 2 I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and
your glory. 3 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify
you.
